Thomas Ashton

Thomas Ashton (fl. 1715-1722) was the Governor of Charlotte under Great Britain from 1715 to 1722.

Biography
Ashton was appointed to command the heavily-defended British fort of Charlotte in northern Jamaica in 1715, and oversaw its defense against the attack by the "Jackdaw", a pirate brig commanded by Edward Kenway. However, the fort was taken by the pirates and Ashton was knocked unconscious. Soon after, he returned to England.
